Default Headers?

Any recommendation on new headers for the PT?

I am looking for some nice ones to help performance. If anyone has any brand or a model number, even a link to a site it'd be great!

Thanks in advance!

For what you are going to gain it would be a waste of money. Been there, done that on my '01. I had the JBA header and when it developed microfractures I went back to a stock one. I didn't notice a difference between the two. The stock one actually flows pretty nice.

I've installed several. I even wrote the install instructions for 2 brands.
I would not install a header to look for performance gains. For all the hassle and cost, you won't see an increase.

Thanks for all your input.

Yeah, I can't imagine doing the headers, but I figured I'd go for it.

I'll just stick with my dual exhaust (when I get one)
